When the Navy camouflage-painted truck drove through Tiananmen Square with a long missile at the National Day parade in 84, the foreign guests above suddenly stood up, looked at the missiles above, and shouted: "Flying fish, flying fish, Chinese flying fish!" ”

This missile, and the famous Exocet missile in the Falklands naval battle, is very similar in appearance, enough to make foreign guests excited. However, there are also people who doubt the combat performance of this missile, after all, only hitting a target cannot explain any problems, and it must be able to achieve results in actual combat.

China's first victory in the Flying Fish was achieved by relying on the Pakistan Air Force.

The missile is inexpensive to build, and, after negotiations, Huaxia has exported a production line to Pakistan, allowing Pakistan to produce the anti-ship missile in large quantities.

Therefore, the Pakistan Air Force can use a large number of such missiles, and in this attack, thirty missiles were launched!

Flying close to the sea surface, it is difficult to be detected by the shipborne radar, and when the end of the stage, the serpentine maneuver is carried out, which increases the difficulty of its interception, and the ship-borne SA-N-1 "Goa" air defense missile is simply unable to effectively intercept, only the 6-barreled 30 mm rapid-fire gun of close defense, relying on the way of visual aiming, to carry out intensive interception of bullets.

When all these missiles flew, less than half of them could be accurately intercepted, and the remaining missiles all pierced into the belly of the Indian warship.

At the beginning, a Exocet missile killed the destroyer Sheffield, which was related to the fact that the superstructure of the British warship was built with aluminum at that time, and the explosion caused a fire, so that the aluminum with a low melting point burned. And now, India's warships are all Soviet-made, and the sleepers that soldiers sleep on are all hard iron bumps. Cannot be ignited. Therefore, the "Rajput"-class destroyer Lana, which has a displacement of nearly 5,000 tons, was hit by a C-802 missile, and although a big hole was blown up under the waterline, it was rescued by the sailors. Having closed the damaged watertight door and excluded the sea inside, the ship was somewhat tilted, but still sailable, and it was ready to break away from the formation and return to Mumbai for repairs.

Two other warships of the same class, the Rajput bravely sailed to the side of the aircraft carrier in order to protect the aircraft carrier, blocking the missiles with its own hull. As a result, two anti-ship missiles were hit, and seawater instantly poured into them, and the captain ordered to rescue the warship for a night, but it was still impossible to save the warship.

The other Ranjit was unscathed.

The frigates in the rest of the formation, such as the Indian Navy's Nilgiri-class frigates, which are British Type 12M general-purpose frigates. Also known as the Leander-class frigate, this type of frigate is licensed to be produced in India. Anti-aircraft missiles were not installed at all, and in the face of the attack of C-802 missiles, there was no way to fight back.

One of them, which was hit directly by a missile in the ammunition compartment, had a large explosion and the entire hull. It broke into two, and the sailors struggled to rescue it for more than ten minutes, but the frigate still sank.

This night was the most depressing night for the Indian Navy with their huge naval fleet. Hit by incoming missiles, four ships were lost and sunk, and twelve were seriously damaged.

When the morning sun appeared in the east again, Major General Ravi Rikye, looking at the latest reported loss figures, turned pale.

Pakistani! Last night the Pakistanis carried out a sneak attack! They used anti-ship missiles!

The only fortunate thing is that our two aircraft carriers are still intact, and we still have dozens of Sea Harrier carrier-based aircraft, and we can continue to fight!

The air defense radar is constantly rotating, scanning the surrounding situation, as long as you don't leave, Pakistani fighters will definitely come again!

The four escorted Sea Harrier fighters are flying 150 kilometers away in formation, and if the Pakistan Air Force arrives again, they will intercept it as soon as possible!

Today's waves are smaller than yesterday's, and the Indian pilots are piloting the Sea Harriers, constantly scanning the sea and air in the distance with their own eyes, and at the same time, the "Blue Fox" radar at the front of the nose is also constantly scanning the sea and sky.

This radar is the development of the "Wave" radar equipped with the "Bobcat" carrier-based helicopter of Westland, as a development model of this helicopter radar, it is very rudimentary, with only 4 modes of operation: search mode; air-to-air attack mode; air-to-surface attack mode; Aperture mode. It does not have pulse Doppler function at all, and cannot detect signals in complex echoes, but it mainly flies at sea, and the clutter on the surface of the sea is much simpler than the clutter on land, and this radar is compact, lightweight, and inexpensive, so it is used as an airborne radar for the Sea Harrier.

Rather than trusting this radar, it is better to trust one's own eyes, and Indian pilots can also spot targets twenty kilometers away in clear skies by sight.

North of Karachi.

An E-2 AWACS aircraft cruises back and forth here, followed by an EC-130H electronic jammer, and on both sides, two F-16 fighters escort on the left and right.

From here, the situation on the sea surface can be monitored, and India's aircraft carrier group, which is more than 200 kilometers away, is completely under the surveillance of the E-2 AWACS aircraft.

The Indians were beaten last night, and they didn't even know how to retreat immediately! Now, its own Tomcat fleet has completed preparations for another sortie, and the other five Tomcat fighters have also completed the improvement of the fire control system, which can be mounted with C-802 missiles.

After several hours of hard work, at dawn, these ten Tomcat fighters were once again turned into mounts for sea attacks, and each fighter was hung with four C-802 missiles, two immortal bird missiles, two sparrows and two sidewinders.

In addition to having a strong ability to attack the sea, it also retains the ability to fight in the air, which is the charm of a heavy fighter.

When the AWACS aircraft checked the sea situation, Pakistan's air force made another sortie.

Flying over the northern land, when they entered the sea, they lowered their altitude again and, under the command of AWACS, circled several dozen kilometers to the west, avoiding the Sea Harrier fighters patrolled by the Indians.

If you want to have sea supremacy, you need to have air supremacy, so aircraft carriers are a must choice for a strong navy, and if there are no fighters, you can only rely on air defense missiles to passively return fire, and with carrier-based aircraft, you can defend against the enemy. And if you want to have air supremacy, you first need to have the right to information.

India's small aircraft carriers can only take off and land Sea Harrier carrier-based aircraft, there is no early warning means in the air at all, and it is difficult to find fighters flying close to the ground; this shortcoming has made the British Navy suffer enough in the Falklands War, and if Argentina has modern third-generation fighters, the outcome of the Falklands War may change.

Bypassing these four Sea Harrier carrier-based aircraft, the formation continued to fly.

"Attention, one hundred and two distances, ready to pull up, jammer support." The command of the E-2 AWACS aircraft came from the headset.

"Roger, pull up!" Rick responded over the radio.

With Rick's order, the ten Tomcat fighters turned on the thrust in unison, swept the wings back to the minimum, jumped upwards to more than a thousand meters in the air, and then dived down, and the radar officer in the rear cabin had already relied on the airborne radar to skillfully lock on the opponent's warship.

This time, there is no need to use the number chain to pass and distribute, and the few remaining Indian warships will usher in their final fate in this round of attacks.

The Indian Navy was able to monitor such low-altitude targets only with the sea-to-air search radar on the remaining Ranjit, but when Rykra got up, the entire ship formation was subjected to strong electromagnetic interference.

There was a snowflake on the radar screen, and when the anti-jamming measures were activated and the screen became clear again, nothing was found.

The right to electromagnetism, the right to information! With these, you can win! The tactics of the Indian army have completely lagged behind!

At present, Pakistan's technology is not advanced enough, if it can directly import the information of the early warning aircraft into the fighter through the guò number of chains, and provide the number of launches for the C-802 missile, then the Tomcat fighter does not need to be pulled up and locked, and only needs to continue to fly level and launch the missile.

Pulling back to a low altitude, each fighter launched its own four C-802 missiles, and when the missiles came out of the pylon, the whole fighter was light.

Looking at the sea outside the cockpit, Rick continued to give orders: "Team 1, kill the patrolling Sea Harriers!" ”

"Understood." Receiving Rick's order, Pilot Salad said, taking his wingman, turning, and flying towards the four Sea Harriers.

"Prepare the Sparrow missiles." At this time, the four Sea Harrier fighters, divided into two two-plane formations, flew in the northern part of the ship formation, and they were not at all vigilant against the danger that was coming.

"132, why don't we use the Immortal Bird?" The wingman pilot's voice came through the headphones.

"The backward Sea Harrier fighters of the Indians are not as valuable as our immortal birds." Salad said, "Execute the order!" ”

The APG-71 radar scanned the sky in the distance, and the distance between the two sides was rapidly closing. Through the number of jù chains, the radar information of the long aircraft is displayed synchronously on the screen of the wingman.

At a distance of thirty kilometers, two Tomcat fighters suddenly pulled up from a low altitude, climbed high, accelerated!

The range of the missile is determined by the altitude and speed of the carrier aircraft, the higher the altitude, the smaller the air resistance, the greater the speed, and the greater the initial velocity after being launched.

When the two fighters climbed high, they were immediately discovered by the radar on the Ranjit in the difficult electromagnetic interference, but unfortunately, they only found out, and could not be notified at all, and the communication was even more interfered with.

Four Sea Harrier fighters, still flying in the form of two twin planes, did not know at all that two Sparrow missiles were already flying towards them! (To be continued......)
